Since the purpose of marriage is procreation, why get married at all if there will be no sexual relations? Mentioning divorce in the same breath (so to speak) as marriage sounds like that’s the plan in the first place. If you’re planning to get married only to get something to which you are not otherwise entitled, that’s fraud and definitely sinful, not to mention illegal.

Just to play devil’s advocate, in countries where the church wedding does not constitute a civil wedding, the Church often requires a couple to be civilly married before a Church wedding will be performed.
Just saying: we should not make so many assumptions about the OPs purpose.

It sounds as if the OP wishes to get “married” for the purpose of taking advantage of legal mechanics concerning marriage, without actually having any love or care for the spouse.

It’s a purely mechanical, financial decision in this situation.

Again, one must follow Church law and Church processes. For those who must marry civilly separaetely from the Church marriage rite, the Church has clear guidelines and requirements in those countries-- including not cohabiting between the civil marriage and the Church marriage (which is typically less than a day or two).

the OP should contact their pastor for guidance.

You understand that I am in no way condoning the OP’s idea; I was simply stating it more clearly.
